          Why We Give
        </div>
        <div class="content">
          <p>God owns everything. He is the source of all life and creation, and it's all His. Psalm 14:1 says, “The
          earth and everything in it, the world and its inhabitants, belong to the Lord.” As the one who owns
          everything, God gives us the privilege of managing what is His. He calls us to be wise, generous stewards. We
          are to invest in that which is most important - His work in this world - and to do so generously. As our
          Heavenly Father has been generous in giving us His Son, He has called us to be generous with what He allows us
          to manage.</p>

          How Much Should I Give?
        </div>
        <div class="content">
          The Biblical starting point for generosity is the tithe, or a tenth, of what God has entrusted to us. This
          standard was established long before Jesus walked on the earth. During His public ministry, Jesus raised the
          bar from simply tithing to generosity. In other words Jesus said that tithing is not the goal: generosity is.
          Generosity involves giving to a local church, but it surely involves so much more. God has given us His
          resources so that we can be generous to others, both through the ministries of our local church and in our
          personal ministries.
